I've been enjoying this aviation channel.

Most of his videos are in Papua New Guinea. The navigation amongst cloud covered peaks is amazing. The landing strips are small with no run off room at all.

Way back I knew a trumpet player named Barney, a drunk. He was also a bush pilot in PNG…………. for a while…………..

This guy is incredibly thorough, but I dunno about doing that job long term. It only takes one mistake.

On some of his past videos he gave instructions on how to buy some, I think demand now outstrips supply (at least from his sources).

Some of those aerial shots of the terrain in PNG remind me of back country NZ, only a hell of a lot higher.

PNG’s place in the history of aviation deserves to be better known.

Most of the country doesn’t really have roads. Rivers and … aircraft.

I recall being told that in the 1920s Tin Dredges were flown in aboard Vickers Vimys.

A working tin dredge may weigh three thousand tons.

The payload of a Vickers Vimy is a bit over a ton.

In the valley where our farm was as a kid, there was a Top-dressing airstrip that was on both our neighbours farm and extending into our farm. It was flat. We had one plane crash onto our farm near the end of that strip.
Another airstrip across the valley was close to 40 degrees in drop-off from the top where the plane got loaded.
I spent quite a bit of time watching those planes come and go while spreading fertilizer.
